First some context of why I made this statement, a colleague of mine likes to blag that he knows japanese (while repeating a single set of words -maybe a sentence from some anime- no matter what question I give him) so I finally got annoyed enough to send him this statement:
ナバンは日本語を分かれば、明日が元気を持ってくる
If I pieced that together correctly then it should have said "Navan, if understand japanese, bring genki tomorrow". So did I piece it together correctly or did I get it wrong again?

Main issues I see are:
明日が - if you use が you are making 明日 the subject (the one bringing the textbook)
元気 - I assume you mean the textbook but the textbook doesn't use kanji for its title.
持ってくる - this is not a command/request so it implies that you will bring it, not that you're requesting him to bring it.

Genki is simple enough so I'll try to remember not to use kanji with that next time
Mottekuru I can probably find the right version when I look for it later (edit: I'm thinking 持ってきて)
The ga particle I'm not sure on though, the only other one that comes to mind is the de particle, goro or just plain omiting it altogether, what would you have put there?

Not expecting to get this right but I'll try anyway, my intended statement is "time to sleep"
時は寝るよ
I'll check back tomorrow after a blood test (been a while since had health check up so used an appointent I booked for something else as an opportunity to do so when that something had healed before the appointment) to check if I got that right

I was reading genki just now and was reading through its example list of short form adjectives, something I always struggled with understanding was A. how to distinguish a な adjective from an い adjective and B. The difference between short form & long form verbs (e.g 勉強 & 勉強する)

For the first one I noticed that both the な adjectives given had 漢字 in them while the い adjective had only ひりがな in it, would it be correct to say that's a good way to distinguish them?

For the second one I though perhaps the short form like 勉強 would be an adjective while the long form would be the verb like below:
勉強人= studious person = studier
人は勉強すって = person studying

Not exactly but い adjective always has い in them in it's positive/present form so that's the main thing to look at.
Without the kanji it's more difficult because for a word like きれい it's hard to tell if it's an い adjective or not. But in kanji 綺麗 is obvious since there is no い. In this case then the problem becomes knowing if it's a なadjective or a noun (which takes の).

I would not say these are short/long form verbs.
勉強 is a noun. 勉強する is a verb.
勉強人 is not a valid word as far as I can tell. You could say this by saying 勉強する人 = person who studies.
人は勉強すって also is not correct. studying would be 勉強している and person studying would be 勉強している人.
Or the person is studying would be 人は勉強している.
I think the main question here is what nouns can accept する to become verbs. For the most part it's just memorization and common sense.

Thanks, could you give me an example of 勉強 being used without する please, not being able to distinguish it's usage just makes it confusing when I see it on memrise (yes still using it and studying the 漢字 was totally worth it because it made much of the words easier to remember when they pop up again after a while of not seeing them)

Sorry for nitpicking, but 勉強を続けますか？ is correct (続く-intransitive vs. 続ける-transitive).

As for the OP's misunderstanding of the terms, the short(or dictionary) form and long form of verbs refer to the non-polite/casual form and polite form of verbs in Genki, respectively. Thus, the short form is 勉強する and the long form is 勉強します. 勉強 is not the short form of the verb at all. It's a noun, as already pointed out.
e.g.
行く (short from)
行きます (long form)

Oh I got that you meant "was studying", I'm well aware of なる's meaning as "to become" as memrise although im this case I think it was closer to "to be", that one stands out in my memory because of Naruto, fits with his name and eventual fulfillment of his goal "to become hokage", gonna read the Bible now, I'll respond to the other stuff after I finish a chapter

This intransitive/transitive currently confuses me also, these are currently how I'm thinking it means:
続く would be used for sentences like "Do not continue?" (although that one I suspect would be just "続かないか" or "続かない？") while the other would be using in a sentence like "He's not continuing" (which I think would be "彼は続けらない")

As for the OP's misunderstanding of the terms, the short(or dictionary) form and long form of verbs refer to the non-polite/casual form and polite form of verbs in Genki, respectively. Thus, the short form is 勉強する and the long form is 勉強します. 勉強 is not the short form of the verb at all. It's a noun, as already pointed out.
e.g.
行く (short from)
行きます (long form)

Those I'm not confused by, what I meant by being confused by long & short form were (as the memrise Genki Module 1 puts it)勉強="study" & 勉強する="to study" without any examples which causes me to think of them as carrying the same meaning but being phrased slightly differently, in order to seperate those meanings and stop confusing similar sets I needed the examples side by side (gonna take a proper look at what (Edit 2: mdchachi) gave after this now that I have time for it)

Edit: Forgot to mention that the treatment I gave する earlier was a slip up, in my haste to post I forgot about the exception

Okay that's nice and easy to digest, so to be accurate the translative text in memrise and genki should have read "study/studies" instead to help properly seperate the usage in a learner's head like myself. Someone remind me what the equivalent for cook would be, I keep getting "cook/(topic/subject's) cooking" show up in my mind which I somehow think is off

I wrote "I like studying" because that is the natural English translation but really 勉強 is a noun so perhaps it would have been less confusing if I said I like studies.
勉強している does indeed mean studying. But you can't add が and turn it into a noun phrase. However you can do this with a verb in plain form.
In other words you could say 私は勉強するのが好きです which means I like to study or 私は勉強しているのが好きです to mean I like studying.
But for practical use one would just say 勉強が好きです and not differentiate in this way.

It depends on the context. If somebody is sitting there in the library studying and you're thinking of leaving you might say that phrase to mean "will you continue studying?" If you're talking to somebody about their career path you might ask them if they intend to continue their studies.
